Pasta With Goat Cheese and Fresh Parsley

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"An easy pasta dish to prepare when you want something substantial to eat, but don't want a big production in the kitchen. It is imperative to use fresh parsley for this dish as it is one of the main ingredients. Original recipe specified dried rigatoni, but I suppose you could use any number of pasta shapes-however, fresh pasta would be my preference over dried pasta!"
